Moj muž Daniil Harms

Durnovo Marina | Glocer Vladimir

Summary

Marina Durnovo, Vladimir Glocer: My husband Daniil Harms

It seems almost incredible that more than half a century after the death of the iconic Russian writer Daniil Harms, a person was found who remembers him and has something new to say about him, and the fact that this person is Harms' "disappeared" unmarried wife is even more incredible! Marina Durnova, born Malič, was found by the publicist Vladimir Glocer in distant Venezuela in 1996 and wrote down her memories of Harms and his tragic epic after his death. With particular simplicity and comprehensibility, Glocer then conveyed the history of coexistence and the fatal fate of Harms and his companion in an amazing book. The book is not large in scope, but large in meaning, as well as in the impression it leaves on the reader; a book that authentically portrays the spirit of an inhumane time and which - although it is a memoir - reads like a suspenseful novel.
Marina and Daniil lived in poverty and often starved, but a much bigger problem for people more "ordinary" than Harms was the unimaginably inhuman government of that time, which in the form of "three short, strange guys" appeared at their door one morning in 1941 and took them away innocent writer in one of his many casemates. "Who did he bother?" Harms' wife Marina wonders in vain even decades later. The author of absurd stories, the kind he could only write in such an absurd system, died after five months of captivity for quite absurd reasons.
However, despite everything and them, Harms is gaining more and more admirers every day, and Šareni dujan proudly joins them by publishing his works.
